You say it as if its a bad thing, hallie jack sson. Msnbc headquarters here in new york. A day after the midterms, still a number of races to decide, enough results for both parties to take a victory lap. President trump will take his this hour, the president scheduled to appear in the eastern room of the white house for a News Conference roughly 30 minutes from now. Today hes already touted himself as the magic man for last nights senate wins. Never mind losing the house, though. President trump also had a message for the Incoming Democratic majority in the house. Investigate me . We investigate you. We also heard from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell just a few moments ago. The Democrats In The House will have to decide just how much president ial harassment they think is good strategy. Today is more than about democrats and republicans, its about restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the trump
administration. One of the first orders of business that i think that d
it s a road to disaster. overreach. overreach. they ve got to have a coherent idea of what the democrats are. this is a party that is deeply divided. you ve got the bernie sanders and elizabeth warren section of the party. you ve got the nancy pelosi section of the party, and then you ve got all these newcomers coming in who got elected because they had a fresh message. now, how do you put all of that together? you know, remember bill clinton was successful as president, and partly because he went with a group of like minded democrats to south carolina and they spent several days deciding what the democratic party ought to be, and i think the democrats have to decide what is our coherent message here? doug, what is that message? not to put you on the spot as he puts you on the spot, what is that coherent message that the democrats should make their own for the next two years? well, i think one of the things that impressed me about this campaign was the message discipline of d
was it about pruitt. he mentioned he was in montana. he what do you think contributed to what we saw? a shift towards campaign trump. this was obviously a campaign rally. he said he was there to hurt jon tester s re-election bid. because he blames him for the failed nomination of ronny jackson. the trump campaign is off to a start. they are raising money, organizing these rallies and becoming more and more frequent. we are seeing that he is starting to test out themes for 2020. and i think that elizabeth warren section was testing out an attack on her to see how the crowd responds.
mcconnell, the senate republican leader. this is a big rebuke of cruz from mcconnell and others who felt like he had been over the top the weekend. he pushed back tonight. oh, because they have memories and remember the last time that senator cruz had taken up such a tactic. what does this mean though for the new congress then, with what we re seeing what ted cruz does in the 60 seconds we ve got here? i think in this new congress, you re going to see a different kind of fight. the last time was all about, would the tea party versus john boehner in the house. the new fight is going to be in congress, the tea party and john boehner still arguing but in the senate, the elizabeth warren section on the left versus harry reid and then the take cruz section against the mitch mcconnell. the fight will now move to the senate and the parties are more divided. kelly talked about that. this was unusual because you had 40 people opposed to it.
